  • Answer:

    Originally .com was intended for for-profit companies, .org for non-commercial organizations and .net for internet related companies and organizations, but there are no restrictions on who can register these or what purpose they are used for.

Generally .org is used for branding non-profits. COM is used for corporations in the business of making a profit from e-commerce and .net lends itself well for branding technical companies.
